February

Guess what, it's snowing!

I can't believe it's already February. January just flew by! Kevin and I have been keeping pretty busy.

After the kids went back to school, we got the house back in pre-holiday order. One weekend we headed to Centerville. We hadn't been down there for quite a while. Nicole was hosting a baby shower for Kylee. It was nice seeing everyone. This past weekend, Kevin and I began painting in the living room downstairs. So the renovating begins again...

So far we have gotten the trim work done. It takes several coats to cover the green, but I think it is finally finished. Now we will begin with the walls, and eventually we will get to the floors.

Kevin has begun taking a German class twice a week, and is enjoying learning that language.

About The Watts Family

KEVIN - Kevin has been with John Deere now for 10 years. He really enjoys working there. He took a new position with them in December '12 that moved us across the state. He now works with the combine side of the house. He still travels occasionally and has added three new destinations to his ever growing list of places he's visited, India, China and Brazil. He has also been to Texas, Russia, North Carolina, Arizona, North Dakota, New York, Canada, Florida, Germany and France.

DIANA - I am working in the school still, and am back in the Library again. I love my new position even though it is super busy so much of the time. So much for thinking a library is quiet.

BRINDLE - Brindle is 151/2 years old now. She is slowing down quite a bit, and Kevin calls her our "prescription puppy" . We give her medicine to help with her joint problems, the cold and damp bother her some. She still goes for walks although they aren't as far or as fast as they used to be.

Update: Brindle made it to month shy of her 16th birthday. It was a sad day in the Watts household! Such a good dog!

PUDDY - Puddy is 14 years old, getting fatter by the day, and is such a loving cat. He doesn't ask to go out as much as he used to, which is good because he is a terror to our neighborhood!

FRANK - Frank grew by leaps and bounds, and is now at 91 pounds. He is so much fun to have around, and such a good dog. He stays in the yard without a fence, walks without pulling (mostly) and loves water and playing with his tennis ball. (obsessed really)

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit with us. I hope you enjoy our family as much as we enjoy each other. Leave us a note and let us know what you are up to.
